Dublin Gravedigger Ghost Tour

Itinerary

5 min

The tour departs in front of H&M in College Green.

Admission not included20 min

The gravedigger ghost bus tour starts at Trinity College where your guide will transport you back some 600 years ago to when the old Augustinian Priory and of course the plague house were there. The latter of which the guide is all too familiar with… But just ignore the coughing and listen to his tales of a plague-ravaged Dublin.

Admission not included20 min

Hear an account of plague victims trying to soothe their wounds in the waters of the city’s drinking supplies. Learn about the mayor's schemes to try and keep the disease at bay, on the gates of Kilmainham Gaol and discover the fates of all those poor souls who found themselves infected with the disease. Many were ostracised, but some suffered an end much, much worse.

Admission not included20 min

Learn the history of Gravedigging at the haunted gates of Glasnevin Cemetery.

Admission not included20 min

This tour includes a mystery drink. You’ll also have the opportunity to enjoy a refreshing pint at the iconic Gravediggers Pub—one of Ireland’s oldest and most storied family-run establishments with one of the best Guinness you'll taste. (Please note: drinks are not included.)

5 min

Arrive back in the meeting point at 10 pm.

Great Experience!

We booked this tour expecting a cheesy but fun way to end our night. This tour turned out to be fantastic and the highlight of our day. There were a few scares along the way but we learned so much during our experience. The bus was wonderfully decorated in a creepy atmosphere and we got to sample a liquor at the Gravediggers Pub. We got another drink to go and they had decent prices and a good atmosphere. Our driver, Colm, was personable and made great conversation. The tour workers were also fantastic! Highly recommend.

Exceeded my expectations and a must recommend tour for Dublin!

Fantastic Tour. I was hesitant since I was expecting a cheesy, tourist type tour. I was wrong.. Sean (our guide) and Sarah were not only friendly and genuinely funny but make the WHOLE experience.. The off bus locations serve as a backdrop to our guides acting out the history and giving it context and flavor. It was a bit strange to be on the bus without being able to look out the windows.. but it becomes clear and a necessity once you are underway. The shots were a nice touch but being able to visit Kavanaughs was a selling point for me.. Their regulars seemed a bit "put out" by a busload of tourists invading their bar for 30 minutes.. but I am sure it is no surprise and they should be used to it by now.?1? The one thing I would change.. I would have taken the latest tour to ensure that it was dark from the start.. It would add to the creepiness. It was the only tour we took in Dublin and I am glad it was this one.

Bad start amazing finish

We didn’t get off to a good start as we queued for about thirty minutes only to have a number of people push in. In that group were a number of people whe were on the large size and took up two seats each. They insisted that we cancelled so not only did they push in they expected us to pay again on another day. The driver was on our side and made them move I totally understand that he was in a difficult situation but he stood his ground and we eventually got on. I’m glad we did as once we got going Charlotte took over and more then made up for a difficult start. Some of us even got to join in the fun and join the actors. It turned out to be a very good tour with a difference

Operator response

Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We're sorry that your evening got off to such a difficult start, but we're glad our driver was able to step in and resolve the situation so you could continue with your tour. Most importantly, we're delighted to hear that Charlotte turned things around and that you enjoyed the experience once the tour got going! We're dying to have you back again… hopefully with a much smoother start next time! 🪦

Super fun ghost tour!

This Ghost tour was a blast! Went with my family, including a teenager, and everyone enjoyed it. The tour guide, Niamh, was incredibly entertaining with lots of great stories that had both chills and history in them. We didn't realize that the bus itself would be part of creating the whole dark, eerie tone for the trip which was great! Highly recommend!

👻 Great tour and such fun. 2 of Super actors in Charlotte and Sarah. John is brillant Driver ..👻

👻 I Want to thank to Charlotte, Sarah and bus driver John 👻 for amazing tour. My friend and i did it and learnt a lot from the jails and graveyards at Glasnevin too. Bus driver John was so kind and helpful to everyone onboard. After 1 and half hour the bus upstairs got so hot but the atmosphere and fun upstairs was brillant. Great speakers and sound too. Highly Recommended. :) Charlotte was great story teller and made so many people jump at beginning of trip. She told so amazing facts and was so calm when others kept chattin (Rude) at front of bus. She had to tell them to keep it down. I loved the design on the Bus and handles made of the Bones plus downstairs looked amazing too. It is funny and informative, Loved the Kilmanhamiton jail and also enjoyed the drinks at John kavanagh pub. So much history in it. :)

We're dying to meet you again! Thanks for spending an evening exploring Dublin's darker side with us.
